The New York Times came out with a lengthy article about how General Electric, despite having a very good year that earned them more than $14 billion in profit, $5.1 billion of which came from U.S operations, managed to owe absolutely no corporate income taxes for 2010. Never mind that the article also noted that many other companies have employed strategies to bring corporate tax receipts to new lows.
